Has anyone had experiance with white noise cds/machines? Most nights i have a hard time falling asleep and was thinking about getting a white noise cd with rain. (The cd is specifically made for white noise) I find the sound of rain relaxing. (And if i focus on it i can stop my mind from wandering..) Has anyone ever used these before? I would like to see wut it does for people.

I've tried ocean sounds, jungle sounds, & a couple others, but if you really want to get to sleep buy the "Oddesey" on tape. The way the words are spoken is in a rhythmic & repetitive pattern that really lulls ya to sleep. Also, you have to love the great English accent smile Don't use this, though, if you're trying to LD. It doesn't work alien
cheers!

I use a white noise machine with rain to help get me to sleep. Primarily I use it to block out noise. It helps a lot with that.

In general, my favorite white noise generator is the common fan.

Fans and stuff arent white noise. White Noise combines all sound frequencys into a track, its specially made. Fans just add to the noise..they could work, but its not white noise.

I bought myself a tape "Long relax by Silva".Silva is very well known author of calming mind techniques-his methods are used by many people in many countries.
Not only it puts me to sleep instantly but it was first thing ever which helped me with meditation/concentration/alpha state.
Recommended!!!

A fan makes a type of noise. I'm not sure if it is white noise but it is noise and probably some type of tone depending on the fan. Also I can see how stuff like a ceiling fan, and computer fan would work well. It is a more natural sound than synthesized rain or sampled rain. I'm sure it depends on the person though. I fall into a trance from real sounds, but stuff like the noise generators just iritates me for some reason. I dont know if it is because I make music knowing the sound isnt real or what.
